The forest management reference levels inscribed in appendix I to this decision were settransparently, taking into account the following: (a) removals or emissions from forest managementas shown in greenhouse gas inventories and relevant historical data; (b) age-class structure; (c) forestmanagement activities already undertaken; (d) projected forest management activities under a‘business as usual’ scenario; (e) continuity with the treatment of forest management in the firstcommitment period; (f) the need to exclude removals from accounting in accordance with decision16/CMP.1, paragraph 1. Points (c), (d) and (e) above were applied where relevant. The forestmanagement reference levels also took into account the need for consistency with the inclusion ofcarbon pools. Reference levels including and excluding ‘force majeure’ should be provided.5

AnnexTerms of reference for the initial review of the Adaptation Fund
I. Introduction1.The Conference of the Parties serving as the meeting of the Parties to the KyotoProtocol (CMP) decided to undertake, at its sixth session, a review of all matters relating tothe Adaptation Fund, including its institutional arrangements, with a view to ensuring theeffectiveness and adequacy of the Fund. The review shall take into account the outcome ofthe performance reviews of the interim secretariat and the interim trustee servicing theAdaptation Fund and submissions from Parties and interested intergovernmentalorganizations and stakeholders. The CMP further decided that the interim institutionalarrangements with the Global Environment Facility (GEF) for the provision of secretariatservices to the Adaptation Fund Board, as well as the interim institutional arrangementswith the International Bank for Reconstruction and Development (the World Bank) for theprovision of trustee services to the Adaptation Fund, shall be reviewed at the sixth sessionof the CMP.12.The CMP, at its fifth session, requested the Subsidiary Body for Implementation toinitiate the review of the Adaptation Fund at its thirty-second session and to agree on theterms of reference for the review and report back to the CMP at its sixth session so that thereview can be undertaken by the CMP.2At its sixth session the CMP decided to undertakethe review of the Adaptation Fund at its seventh session.
II. Objective3.The objective of this initial review is to ensure the effectiveness and adequacy of theAdaptation Fund and its interim institutional arrangements, with a view to the CMPadopting an appropriate decision on this matter at its seventh session.
III. Scope4.The scope of the initial review of the Adaptation Fund is a review of all mattersrelated to the Adaptation Fund, including institutional arrangements, taking stock of theprogress made to date and lessons learned in the operationalization and implementation ofthe Fund. Given that the Adaptation Fund has only recently become fully operational, thisinitial review shall focus on, inter alia:(a)The interim institutional arrangements of the GEF acting as interimsecretariat of the Adaptation Fund Board, as well as the interim institutional arrangementsof the World Bank acting as the interim trustee for the Adaptation Fund and all mattersrelated to the Adaptation Fund Board;(b)Performance reviews of the GEF acting as interim secretariat of theAdaptation Fund Board, as well as the interim institutional arrangements of the World Bankacting as the interim trustee for the Adaptation Fund;
